Staal’s Net-Front Bite Is Powering The Canes’ Grind

Staal is doing the dirty work in front of the crease, and the Hurricanes are leaning into it like a team that knows where playoff goals come from. On the other side, Eichel and the Golden Knights are focused on getting sticks tied up and clearing away chaos before it turns into trouble. This matchup has the feel of a possession battle where the smallest net-front detail can swing the night.
